59.
There was no way an Awakened wouldn’t have known it was a monster. The big eyes that had been looking at them rolled and turned to inspect the approaching human.
The reptile’s bright yellow eyes narrowed to slits. Its huge body trembled.
‘That’s a familiar face.’
His childhood had been perfect in his past. He was stronger than anyone else and was a fearsome being. No monster dared to attack and even if it did, it became a meal.
His parents once told him that there were things in the world to be wary of, but the young dragon, having not yet encountered the demonic human, roamed around in triumph.
Then one day, he went out farther than usual.
He found an unusual creature that looked pale and weak.
‘Aah, is that a demon?’
He was curious because he had never seen a demon.
‘Demons are to be wary of. Most are weaker than us, but there are those who can subdue us with a single finger.’
He had heard that, but the existence in front of him didn’t look like it could subdue a dragon with a single finger. So he approached calmly. He was thinking of catching it, doing some research on the demons, and messing with it.
‘That was a mistake.’
Seeing him proudly appearing, the demon frowned and spat out his words.
‘What’s this?’
‘Kieeek!’
What do you mean by that, I’m a great dragon! He shouted loudly and confidently jumped at the demon, and after that he understood the word pain. It was said that he had been beaten to death. The strong scales and tenacious vitality that he was usually proud of were just punching bags that allowed him to be hit more.
‘Okay, you’re the Bike number 3 from now on. Your name will be Two-eyed.’
The great Black Dragon Harmonia became known as Two-eyed. He was so upset about being beaten that he even tried to ask his parents for help, to no avail. This particular opponent was a terrifying existence that even fought with the first place in the hierarchy of the Demon Realm. He knew at that time that he was a human, not a demon.
It was hell for a while after that. When called, he ran as he was called and became a bike. What the heck was a bike? He was even number 3, not number 1 or number 2!
‘Who am I!’
His eyes trembled with rage, but he couldn’t escape once he was caught. Life will be like this. The past of beating monsters with our will would not come back.
When he thought so, he disappeared.
He started hitting the bow again, but there was no one to stop him. The only thing left now was happiness. When he thought that way, he met another being.
It was an unknown demon. Two-eyed fought fiercely, but he couldn’t defeat the demon. His parents said that dragons were great beings, but why do they just explode stuff here and there? He was so sad that he felt like crying.
‘Go in here.’
What the victor, the Demon, wanted was to enter with Two-eyed through an entrance. The entrance was a portal to another world, but Two-eyed, somewhat less magically literate, couldn’t figure it out. He had no choice but to step inside it.
But what was this! After passing through the portal, another world was before his eyes. There were even a lot of people there. Just like that terrifying human who was stronger than the demons!
Two-eyed stared for a moment. Then he realized that the people here were weak compared to that human he met before. This level could be easily won. A smirk broke out involuntarily.
Although the people attacked it, it didn’t hurt much compared to the splendid effect.
‘Alright, let me show you where my confidence comes from.’
Two-eyed slowly pulled his body out of the portal. If I went back, I would meet that demon, so it was okay to stay here for a while.
It wasn’t long before that thought was broken. The face of the new man, who had entered, was strangely familiar. Dragons are an intelligent species; once they have seen something they do not easily forget.
‘Why are you here!’
Two-eyed closed his eyes tightly and then opened them. But what he saw hadn’t changed. He was still standing in front of him, looking up at him. Two-eyed slowly lowered his head with a frightened expression. Then, after putting his head firmly on the floor, he rolled his eyes again.
“Hyung!”
In the meantime, two of the guys who were fighting were quite good, and one weaker one clung to him. It was common for the weak to entrust themselves to the strong, clinging to him for his protection.
‘What bad luck.’
Two-eyed quietly blinked. It was a sign of submission.
“Hyung, why did you come back! Are you crazy?”
Seon-woo was terribly angry.
“Get out immediately.”
Do-jin pulled Hyeon-woo’s hand and put it in his arms. And since he was about to move immediately, Hyeon-woo urgently shouted.
“Wait a minute, just wait a minute!”
“What are you waiting for!”
Do-jin also scolded Hyeon-woo, who was nervous unlike usual.
“I knew you’re fearless, but you shouldn’t be like this.”
“Look- look there!”
Hyeon-woo quickly pointed at the dragon. The dragon, which had proudly raised its body and arrogantly looked down at the surroundings, was lowering its body like a well-behaved puppy. And he rolled his big yellow eyes, which looked strangely gentle. There seemed to be no intent to attack.
“Why is it doing that?”
When Hye-sun spat out the words with a lot of tension, Ga-jun answered.
“I don’t know. What’s wrong with it?”
“If my eyes are not wrong, it doesn’t seem to have any intention to fight.”
People nodded their heads as if they agreed with Ja-yun’s words. Just a moment ago, it was glaring at people as if to tear them apart. Why did it suddenly change its attitude? The worried eyes turned to Hyeon-woo, who had just arrived.
“Hyung.”
Seon-woo ruffled his hair with his hand. Then he asked in a deep voice.
“Is it similar to Spotty?”
Hyeon-woo answered with an awkward smile.
“I guess so?”
The words also reached the ears of other Awakened. Ivan and Junichi looked puzzled, and Leon crossed his arms and looked at the monster and at Hyeon-woo.
“Is taming possible?”
Actually, it wasn’t taming, but Hyeon-woo nodded at first. And cautiously stepped forward. Seon-woo and Do-jin guarded him by his side.
“Two-eyed?”
When the name was called, the monster blinked slowly.
“Can you come over here?”
After saying that, Two-eyed began to slowly draw his body forward. A long neck, a solid chest, and then a torso, which were quite long and large. It was a size that was incomparable to the Spotty. The party hall shook as the body came out completely. It looked like the hall would collapse soon if it stayed like this.
“Shall we go outside?”
Everyone had no choice but to agree with Hyeon-woo’s words. When everyone left the party hall, Two-eyed stretched out his body. Standing against the background of the broken party hall and lighting, the figure looked like a monster from the Japanese prehistoric era.
“It reminds me of Godzilla.”
Hearing what Ivan whistled, Junichi looked at him with an expression of absurdity.
“I’m not saying they look exactly the same.”
“I know that much.”
Two-eyed stretched and lowered his body again. His behavior was like that of a well-trained dog.
“Can you make your body smaller?”
He nodded at Hyeon-woo’s words and was enveloped in light. And when the light disappeared, a young man with black hair and yellow eyes stood in his place.
This was unexpected. Hyeon-woo blankly stared at the handsome young man.
‘No, I knew it was a dragon.’
If it was a dragon, it was possible to polymorph after becoming an adult. Compared to other black dragons, he was smaller and less childlike, so he didn’t know, but now he was an adult. Hyeon-woo called his name again with some admiration.
“Two-eyed?”
“Yes.”
He even knew how to speak.
Hye-sun stared at Two-eyed with an expression as if her eyes were about to pop out. She couldn’t even take her eyes off it.
“Stop watching, Nu-nim.”
Ga-jun, who couldn’t see it, covered Hye-sun’s eyes.
“Ah, why! It’s a monster!”
“To me, it looks like a naked young man. Let’s protect ourselves from the sight.”
“Damn it.”
Hye-sun grumbled, but quietly covered her eyes.
“Anyway, this case will remain peculiar.”
Ja-yun put on a tired expression. Even so, they did not relax for a second. They couldn’t. A huge monster had appeared and now it turned into a human. The battle had stopped thanks to Hyeon-woo, but it was unpredictable what would have happened if they had continued to fight.
“Why are things always so complicated with you?”
Hye-sun let out a deep sigh and turned around.
